Dear Alumnus,

The Alumni Relations Team has so far had an exciting and busy 2017 – having interacted with thousands of graduates via personal visits, emails, written and telephonic communication as well as through the various social media sites. The Durban Alumni Association AGM held on the Howard College campus, the Cape Town Alumnus Dinner at the Tablebay Hotel ,  the Convocation AGM, the April Graduation ceremonies in both Durban and Pietermaritzburg, the Lesotho Alumnus  Lunch  in Maseru and the Film Screening/Movie Evening at Musgrave Centre in Durban all successfully took place. In addition, the Durban Alumni Association has been very active with many interesting talks and tours arranged. A number of activities have still to take place and these include a South Coast (KwaZulu-Natal) Alumnus Lunch as well as a few events across the borders of South Africa.

We are particularly happy about the recent successful launch of  the Lesotho Alumnus Facebook page – which adds to the already existing Facebook pages for alumni based in the United Kingdom, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.  There is also a main Facebook page for all alumni.

Communication via the website, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and SMS has increased and is an effective way of informing graduates of UKZN events and issues. In order to invite alumni to the planned events and to keep everyone updated on University events – we are eager to secure the current contact details of alumni – especially email addresses and mobile phone numbers. Also, please encourage any friends or relatives who are graduates and have not received any correspondence from the University in recent months to provide us with their updated contact details. You can update your contact information here.

With our very best wishes, 
The Alumni Relations Team.
